We like your article addressing this subject. As you suggested it requires discipline, but even then it's hard!

I've been overweight once at 123 lbs for 5'2 (which is overweight for my frame) ... so I've fluctuated from 110 to 120 recently. I calorie count everyday and check my weight. My weight's always the highest when I'm not working out ... my appetite drops and I eat less. When I'm working out I'm constantly eating plus a few hundred extra cals and that's when my weight is lowest and I look fittest. I dunno why though.

Mmmmm I could so go for one now. Pity the closest Macdonalds is 500km away! People need to realise that the ultimate goal is calorie expendature... But sales men are succeeding in convincing them that it's the lack of so and so supplement that's causing them to not lose weight.

It should be your nutrition, resistance training, and your cardio. You can't have one without the other. I think both should be incorporated to get leaner!

My sister, who is a fitness freak, was driven crazy by the weight gain during pregnancy. It is apparent that I need to posts with full workouts. I can't do it justice here in the comment section. Be on the "lookout" for it. A good starting point would be some of those cardio and HIIT workouts I have in the "Aerobic Exercise" section. I know you can drop that weight for sure. Rusty Stace,

My youngest is 2 now. This is my year to get my body back! I want to hit the beach with a body that turns heads. I am now 35 years old. I weigh a "OH MY GOD I CAN'T BELIEVE I LET MYSELF GET THIS BIG," 190 lbs at 5'6". Because you have all the hot people on your website with the great bodies, I know you know what you talking about. I read your site at least 3-4x per week. What do you recommend I do to get a smokin' body by summer? It is a long way back down but I am willing to do the work. Hi Rusty

Well...McDonald's is at least attempting to offer healthy alternatives. I know that most of their menu isn't healthy, but I like the direction they are heading. I have been know to eat the occasional fast food meal (a few times per year), so I didn't want to be a hypocrite and slam all fast food places. Rusty Alan,

I love the site ive been reading non stop. I love your take on the 1,2,3 vs the 5, 6 meal plan. Also the take on high intensity cardio which seems like a good workout which i am going to have to switch over to. I played college baseball last year and was around 190 this fall. I used the 5 meal approach and have gotten results i am down to 174. I am going to start to go into the 3 meal approach to lose the last 4 pounds. I was wondering why people say you need to eat every few hours to keep insulin in check and that if you dont eat every 2-3 hours you lose muscle weight and your body fat will stay the same. which i dont mind lsoing muscle i just wanna body fat with it? any info would be great rusty..

While I have heard that people around here eat that kind of thing (or feed it to their kids), I've known the more traditional PB&J sandwich to be the staple. Of course I haven't eaten a PB&J in forever either. Also, I grew up eating a more Mediterranean-style diet. I probably don't count. Rusty, I hate to rain on her parade but no, I don't.
